The Three Musketeers (1993 film)

The Three Musketeers is a 1993 film about three Musketeers - Athos, Porthos, and Aramis - who, after the Musketeers are disbanded, join a young would-be-Musketeer, D'Artagnan, to stop the Cardinal Richelieu's evil plot: kill King Louis and form an alliance with England by way of the mysterious Milady DeWinter.

I trust, Captain Rochefort, that you are doing everything in your power to rid us of these rebels. Don't let having only one eye impair your vision. The loss of the other could be most... inconvenient.

[about MiLady DeWinter] A remarkable woman. The most beautiful I've ever known... and the deadliest. Which would explain my attraction.

[honoring a kneeling D'artagnan] This world is an uncertain realm, filled with danger. Honor undermined by the pursuit of power, freedom sacrificed when the weak are oppressed by the strong. But there are those who oppose these powerful forces, who dedicate their lives to truth, honor and freedom. These men are known as Musketeers. Rise, D'Artagnan, and join them.

Cardinal Richelieu: Perhaps you're right. [pulls back her cloak and moves to embrace her. Milady pulls out a dagger and holds it to his stomach.]

Milady: I was making an observation, not an offer.

Cardinal Richelieu: A word of caution, Milady. A snap of my fingers and you could be back on the block where I found you!

Milady: And with a flick of my wrist, [inches the blade closer] I could change your religion.

Porthos: Athos, you cannot fight this boy.

Athos: Why not?

Porthos: I'm fighting him.

D'Artagnan: Not until one o'clock.

Aramis: I have a duel with him, too.

D'Artagnan: Not until two o'clock.

[Cardinal Richelieu's been unmasked over his plot to assassinate King Louis]

King Louis: You have failed!

Cardinal Richelieu:[laughs] You are so naive. But things couldn't have gone more perfectly if I'd planned them myself. The King of France dies at the hands of his own personal guards! [heads to throne dais] Grief-stricken, terrified, the huddled masses turn for comfort to their devout spiritual leader... [hands together in prayer, then sits on the throne] who, ever so humbly, assumes the throne... [flays cape across queen's throne] with a queen by his side.
